In the Guoshu Hall, these warriors finally became one of Zhang Fan's disciples after seeking permission from their superiors.
After a simple apprenticeship ceremony, they officially began to learn Jeet Kune Do from Zhang Fan.
The new Jeet Kune Do is more powerful and has more killing moves. The changes become more bizarre and unpredictable.
In addition to bare-handed fighting, Zhang Fan's mastery of cold weapons is also very good. Combining the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought, he also developed a set of dagger fighting.
This set of fighting techniques is more useful to warriors. After all, these warriors fight with sabers much more often than with bare hands.
When performing a mission, even if you run out of bullets, you still have a saber. As the saying goes, no matter how good your martial arts skills are, you are afraid of kitchen knives, and dagger fighting is relatively more important.
"Chairman, the trade war has begun."
Just when the day was calm, Zhang Fan received a call. After receiving the news, Zhang Fan's face immediately became serious, and he immediately called for an emergency meeting.
Trade war, the trade friction between China and the United States has become more and more serious in the past two years. The United States has been clamoring for a trade war.
The two sides have also conducted a lot of negotiations, and each has used its own methods. Now, the trade war has finally started.
Within Longteng Group, there has long been in-depth research and investigation on this matter. After all, Longteng Group is now considered an export-oriented enterprise.
There are also many products exported to the United States, ranging from clothing and toys to cars and yachts. Tesla's pure electric vehicles are currently selling well in the United States.
Now that the trade war has begun, Longteng Group will definitely be affected. There is no doubt about this. In the general environment, many companies cannot escape.
In the office, Zhang Fan carefully looked at the contents of the trade war. A very simple strategy, increase tariffs. Increase corresponding tariffs on China's 50 billion U.S. dollars of products.
The products cover many categories, including automobiles, electronic components, light industrial products, chemical products, etc.
For these products, the United States will increase tariffs by 25% on the basis of the original tariffs.
This increase in tariffs will undoubtedly cause huge losses to export companies. If the original price is maintained, then the cost of tariffs must be borne by the companies themselves.
If the selling price is increased, the sales volume of these products will naturally decrease.
The United States imposed additional tariffs, and China immediately responded. Almost at the same time, additional tariffs were imposed on US$50 billion of American products, with the increase amount also being 25%.
Tit for tat, this kind of environment is definitely not what entrepreneurs want to see. But now that this has happened, they can only deal with it.
In the conference room, some high-level officials gathered here.
"I believe everyone is aware of the situation. The trade war has begun, and we must make corresponding countermeasures. First of all, we must make it clear that we cannot retreat. Especially in the U.S. market, it has been temporarily decided that the selling prices of our products in the United States will remain unchanged. The cost of tariffs
It's up to us to bear it..."
Zhang Fan said seriously, and everyone looked at Zhang Fan. They had discussed it many times before.
"Secondly, rationally adjust the industrial layout. Minimize unnecessary costs. Speed up the global factory layout..."
Longteng Group has been preparing for the trade war for a long time. For different products, Longteng Group also has different countermeasures.
For example, if factories are built in different regions according to different markets. For the same product, if it is produced in different places, the cost will be different.
For example, if some products are produced in the United States, they can directly avoid high tariffs. For the United States, they have increased employment and received tax revenue.
However, this kind of escape is not a good thing for China's manufacturing industry. However, in today's business globalization environment, this approach is what all major multinational companies are doing.
"Third, we need to show our attitude. Try to find substitutes for the products we originally imported from the United States. Even if the cost is higher, we must replace them."
"Fourth, unite with other companies to boycott American goods. Open up our supply chain and take the opportunity to capture more domestic markets..."
Zhang Fan held a meeting. The trade war is a double-edged sword, and no one knows the outcome until the end. For some companies, the trade war may not be a crisis, but it may also be an opportunity.
This time, both China and the United States have imposed tariffs on each other, which is also an opportunity for Longteng Group. After the tariffs were imposed, the prices of products imported from the United States by some import companies have become higher.
Longteng Group can seize the opportunity, open up its own supply chain, increase the production capacity of its own supply chain, and directly replace those American products.
The most powerful thing about Longteng Group is its huge raw material supply chain. Some people agree with this model and some people disdain it.
Sometimes these supply chains can reduce costs, but sometimes things produced by one's own are more expensive than imported ones.
In this case, it seems that the gains outweigh the losses. But now, after the trade war, everyone knows how awesome Longteng Group's layout is.
We are not afraid of being stuck by others, nor are we afraid that others will not sell us things. For example, some agricultural products were cheaper to import from the United States in the past.
Now that tariffs have been imposed, product prices have suddenly risen a lot. On the other hand, Longteng Group previously invested large amounts of money in building raw material production bases, but now its costs are constantly shrinking.
The trade war has begun, and the Internet is full of news about the trade war.
"If you dare to do it to them, don't give in..."
"You must never give in..."
"This is war..."
"I have to fight until the end..."
"The United States is such a scoundrel..."
"Boycott American products..."
Internet users are making a fuss, and the start of this trade war is not a good signal for countries around the world.
After all, a good environment is conducive to development, and now the world's largest and second-largest economies are starting to engage in trade wars. This shows that the current global economic growth environment has encountered big problems.
In recent years, the economic growth of various countries has reached a point. They are all looking for new breakthrough points. At the same time, the debt crises of various countries are also increasing.
At the same time, the unemployment rate is also increasing, which is a problem faced by all countries. Even China is like this. It is not that there is no job, but that it is too difficult to find a suitable job.
Especially in the manufacturing industry, many factories have fled China. Enterprise labor costs have increased, and the manufacturing industry has used industrial robots on a large scale, which has significantly reduced the number of jobs.
All circumstances indicate that the current economic situation is severe, including in China. Local debts are increasing, real estate is hijacking the economies of various regions, and the manufacturing industry is declining. These conditions are very serious. In the face of the trade war, if we do not strengthen our own strength, the entire situation will be
